Matt: God is a person.  Humans were made in his likeness--

Student#2:
In my opinion  God's a myth!
Student#3: And truth is relative!  Truth  changes with the person and the situation. 


Professor:
  Time is slipping away, class.  Let's get back to today's agenda.  (Goes back to the podium)  Thank you, Mr. Lyons.  Please take your seat….  You, too, Ms. Daniels!  (Laura sits, Matt returns to his seat)  This is not Christianity 101.  In my class you will not be subjected to eighteenth century, unenlightened, narrow-minded, religious views regarding truth.  (Holding back anger) Before I go on, though, I want to make one final point: This world is all there is.  There's no supernatural dimension.  The world in which we live is the only environment we will ever inhabit.  There is no heaven, or if there is a heaven, we can't possibly know anything about it!  This may give some of you cause for alarm, but there are no angels either.  No unseen forces protecting us from what the Bible calls the Evil One!

Student#3:  Then who's that standing behind you, Professor?! 

Startled, the professor swings around to look.  The class breaks out in laughter. 

Lights dim….

Some of the language for this drama was adapted from an article by Francis J. Beckwith, Deconstructing Liberal Tolerance.  The article can be found in the Christian Research Journal, Volume 22, Page 26.  CRI web site: http://www.equip.org
